How does Jiu-jitsu work at Bindner Academy?

Using the principles of leverage and intelligence over brute strength, our Jiu-Jitsu is about effective problem solving under pressure with functional movement. Students will learn safe methods of employing the mechanical advantage, using fulcrums and levers, body/bio mechanics, combining well-timed movements, efficiency, training methods and strategies. This type of intelligent training will not only lower the frequency and severity of injuries, but will also lower the amount of energy one expends to accomplish their objectives, and show them how to get more enjoyment out of their Jiu-jitsu training. It does not rely on strength, size, or speed, but rather on the intelligent use of strategy and technique to overcome such physical attributes. You will sweat, lose weight, decrease your body fat, develop and tone your muscles, gain flexibility and mobility, increase your balance, agility, energy and endurance levels, decrease stress, and increase your brain function, centeredness and focus. Not to mention improve your self-confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline, health and over-all mood. Our classes are accessible to anyone, beginner and experienced alike.

​

Today, one must be able maintain their physical, mental, and emotional state, read the environment, navigate fear, stress, conflict and adversity, and master the moment by mastering the breath.

1) Safety First (minimum risk, with maximum reward)

D. Davis, Business Owner

I hold Jiu-jitsu and Sensei Derek Bindner responsible for putting me on a better path in life that I am still on today. It is not only a great workout, it teaches you that when the going get’s tough and your brain is screaming at you to stop, you really can push past that and actually learn to enjoy or embrace the challenge at hand. I feel that has translated into not only me being in the best physical shape of my life, at 42 years old, I also feel I can make better decisions as a business owner and more importantly, a father. I now crave taking on new physical and mental challenges and conquering them… and then of course passing on that knowledge and mindset to my children, and others, and leading them by example.
